Summary

In this episode of Quah (Q & A), Sal, Adam & Justin answer four Pump Head questions drawn from last Sunday’s Quah post on the @mindpumpmedia Instagram page.

  • Mind Pump Fit Tip: Scientific studies are NOT everything! (2:16)

  • PSA for all inspiring coaches and trainers. (21:49)

  • There is a HUGE difference between processed and whole meat. (23:26)

  • Kids say the darndest things. (25:45)

  • The sad state of Mitch McConnell. (34:55)

  • #Quah question #1 - How do you find and maintain a neutral spine while doing conventional deadlifts? When (if ever) is it normal to see some lower or upper back rounding? (1:10:53)

  • #Quah question #2 - My right arm is weaker than my left & it affects my barbell curls in that my left doesn't feel fatigued at 8 reps while my right is struggling for form. Should I stay at a lower weight until my right arm catches up or switch to dumbbells? (1:18:02)

  • #Quah question #4 - If all of you had to do a different podcast, but it couldn’t be fitness-related, what would you talk about? (1:26:05)
